[Bug 420303] Re: cone FTBFS in karmic

[Michael Bienia]

It's not a gcc problem, but a bug in the code:

libmaildir/maildiradd.C:168
    memcpy(strrchr(newname.c_str(), '/')-3, "cur", 3);

c_str() returns a const char* (i.e. read-only), strrchr() on a const char* returns also a const char*
but memcpy expects to get there a pointer to a read-write location

That's the problem gcc complains about. From a look at the code, this
code needs to be changed to do the modification on newname (C++ string)
directly and not on its C representation.
